Hello Mr. Riden,
Please don't change the list so that replies go to the
questioner or commenter only. While I agree that responses that
only agree with the sender should be replied to off-list, in my
opinion, it would not be beneficial to have answers to queries
sent to the questioner only. Many of us learn from the answers
or comments on the list. Often one of our questions is answered
on the list before we even realize we had that problem.
As to too much garbage on the list, whenever I see the same
subject line more than four or five times, I delete. Maybe I
miss a little doing this, but it has been my experience that
after the subject appears about five times, people have started
sending one word or line messages to agree or disagree with
something. Personally I think replies or comments that don't add
knowledge about the subject should be forwarded directly to the
sender.
That's my two-cent worth, and I hope I haven't offended
anyone.

Subject: [Braillenote] Notetaker comparisons and list traffic
Hi Michele,
I don't mind how much you discuss how much better HumanWare
notetakers
are than the others! <grin
now, this applies to a lot of list messages recently, not any one
topic in
particular - some of the messages would have been better sent
privately than
to the list as a whole. Please consider whether your post adds
useful
information - simply agreeing with someone else is not usually
necessary,
unless there's some doubt about the issue. If you're asking a
question of
one person, then email them directly.
I get complaints every now and then from people who are unable to
cope with
the volume of list traffic, so please be considerate of them. It
has been
suggested that I change the list so that when you reply, it goes
to the
person who posts the message, rather than the list, which sounds
like a good
idea.
regards,
Andy.
